I was attempting to install Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS for the very first time without help from a tutorial and I managed to somehow install Ubuntu on my intel optane memory instead of my hard drive.

When I look at the disks, my hard drive "Acer" comes up as a removable drive - when it is a hard drive installed into the laptop.

I am wondering if it is possible to change my file-system location to my internal hard drive as my optane memory is only a small capacity.

    You filesystem can span multiple drives. The Optane is a good place for your core system. The old OS or data was wiped when you erroneously committed your changes and installed Ubuntu there. – user535733 Dec 17 '19 at 20:01
  • How would I mount my home directory and where the software gets installed to another drive? Also it sometimes takes a few seconds to detect the HDD. – Ulferno Dec 17 '19 at 20:17

    Does this answer your question? [Intel Optane Memory support for Ubuntu and Windows 10 dual boot on Dell i7](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1009710/intel-optane-memory-support-for-ubuntu-and-windows-10-dual-boot-on-dell-i7) Optane is not Linux-compatible.
